Notes
War Golems used to serve as protectors and soldiers in the past of Yalahar. In our days, the remaining War Golems act as guards and bodyguards for high-ranking officials. Due to the high costs of their maintenance and the lack of staff required for repairs, War Golems are expensive and only seldom used, even if the problems of Yalahar are pressing.
Created for war purposes, they utilise their golem abilities to the fullest. Heavily armored and enhanced with magic weaponry, the golems turn into behemoths of destruction. Only their simple-mindedness might be a weakness and hints that in former days the squads of War Golems were probably personally controlled by a Yalahari leader.
War Golems are a rare sight. Most are stored away in the quarters of the Yalahari, a few are left and forgotten in abandoned areas of the city.
Rumours persist that squads of War Golems were also deployed elsewhere in long forgotten wars. As they were never returned they are said to follow unknown orders of long dead commanders to the present day.
Behaviour
Like a Behemoth, but it's much faster and stronger.
A war golem attacks in melee range. A war golem never retreats.
Strategy
All Vocations: These creatures are faster than a Behemoth, and very similar in many aspects. Once they've buffed up, they can hit nearly as hard, including some nasty energy attacks. Mages should start with a mass spell or two, such as Rage of the Skies for sorcerers to help clear out the Worker Golems these creatures usually spawn with. It might also be a good idea to throw an energy wall and have the War Golem run back and forth over it.
